    Unfortunately I’ve heard that a lot of people especially from academia are moving to bluesky. I’ve already started talking to some people I know about Mastodon. I hope the word spreads around.

      What’s so special about bluesky that people are migrating there?

        Old CEO of Twitter is involved.

        Usually when something turns to shit, and the original CEO leaves to create a similar product, people follow. With games, software, even hardware.

          BS is run by an independent team, and Jack recently deleted his BS account. He’s promoting Nostr.

          The invite only is helping build the science Community create their circles without misinformation being pushed or shouted at them.

          Currently BS also has one server, so it’s easier for most people to use it unlike mastodon instances. The custom feeds also help with community building.

            Can’t help but read the "BS"s as bullshit. The meaning didn’t change much.

        What I hear a lot is

        • they are following other people there
        • they don’t know how to use Mastodon and prefer Bluesky
        • people on Mastodon keep telling them that they aren’t using it correctly
        • reply guys on Mastodon who think they know everything better than the scientists

      Over time everything gets eaten up by open systems. If you are worried about lemmy or mastodon, don’t be. Other open systems are the real concern. I’m rooting for nostr.
